2 Chronicles 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 11:19

Which bare him children
Or, "and she bore him" ^F4; for it is said only of one of them, the other perhaps died without children; this may refer to the last mentioned, Abihail, whose children were

Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham;
who perhaps all died in their father's lifetime, since the firstborn of a later wife succeeded him.

2 Chronicles 11:19 In-Context

17 And they strengthened the realm of Judah, and strengthened Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, by three years; for they went in the ways of David, and of Solomon, only by three years. (And so they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and Solomon's son Rehoboam, for three years; for they went in the ways of David, and Solomon, but only for three years.)

18 Forsooth Rehoboam wedded a wife, Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, and (of) Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;

19 and she childed to him sons (and she bare for him three sons), Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

20 Also after this wife he took Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, and she childed to him Abijah (and she bare for him Abijah), and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, above all his wives and his secondary wives. And he had wedded eighteen wives, and he had sixty secondary wives; and he begat eight and twenty sons, and sixty daughters (And he wedded eighteen wives, and he had sixty concubines; and he begat twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters).
